a welcome trend in education

Many talented students, especially those coming from the poor families, could not finish college due to the high price they have to pay for education. However a welcome trend now is the Internet. Thus, online university is now proliferating, and courses offered are so varied, depending on one’s choice and need, with scholarships given to [...]


too shy to go back to school?

I’ve seen a TV ad for a multivitamins about a mom going back to school, armed with books in hand, walking in the direction of a big modern university building with many students along the halls. Well, I can actually tell her to make her life a lot simpler by going to an online university, [...]


online security

One of the many concerns about using computers in a public environment such as internet cafes is security of personal information. Some cafes cannot be trusted and could have some keylogger software installed which could catch your passwords and other vital information as you enter them online. This is why online sites dealing with personal [...]


facebook mania

Do you have a facebook (FB) account? I bet you do! Almost everyone has. Checking on my FB (almost daily) has become an enjoyable habit because of the pictures my contacts upload there. I get to take a peek into their lives, how they’d become and how their wives/husbands and kids look like. There are [...]

another victim of scam mail

I was chatting with a friend last week when she suddenly asked me if I received an email from PayPal. I didn’t receive any email from them but I asked her what’s the email about, sensing something was wrong. She pasted the content. I asked her from what email address it was sent from. Right [...]


whew!

The past 4 days my blog was out of order.  The whole page looks okay  but whenever you click any of the post, there’s an error.  My technical support have been busy so it wasn’t taken cared of immediately.  Today when I checked my blog and still got the same problem, I started to get [...]


where do you store your photos?

If you’re fond of posting pictures in your blog or personal website, chances are you have your pictures stored online in free photo sharing sites such as Flickr, Picasa Web Albums or Photobucket. Since Flickr is now owned by Yahoo!, Yahoo! users can easily use and upload digital images in Flickr using their Yahoo! ID. [...]
